It depends on the program.

For Gandalf position number 1 is easier.

It can see a positive score and not only the right main line in a few hours for
position number 1 when it cannot see a positive score in some hours even 2 or 3
plies after Rxc5(It means that it probably has no chance to find Rxc5 because it
has no reason to change its mind from another drawing move Bf6).
